Trip to Broadstairs.
“ And now for something different “and that’s what we got when we
went to Broadstairs. Arriving late due to traffic problems we had a very
nice hurried lunch overlooking the sea. Then on to St Peter’s village where
we enjoyed a pageant of life in the village as it was in the past, centred on
the church we then toured various places and met people dressed in a
costume of the time and explained who they were and what life was like
for them at that time. It ranged from the wealthy to the workhouse and
even the stocks. All acted by volunteers in aid of charity. A very different
and very enjoyable day. Thank you Gloria.
